As a Christmas treat for my youngest we went to London to see Wicked, a show she's wished to see for some time.  For those of you who don't know the story it's about the two witches who are in The Wizard of Oz.  It tells of how they came to know each other and came to compete against each other, the story dovetailing into the orginal tale. 

Although it wasn't my choice I did enjoy, it had beautiful costumes and amazing singers and dancers.  In other words a typical London polished performance.

How proud I am to be English and how lucky am I to live near to this great city of ours and be able to enjoy all the delights it has to offer. Not only did we see a show but enjoyed a meal in The Crypt of St Martin's in the Field, coffee stops and teas at various cafes the last one at Trafalgar Square where we sat in a window seat, in the evening, and watch the fountains as their lights changed colour giving us a pretty scene.  We used the buses, which are better for sightseeing.  Pity the weather wasn't warmer as our walk through Admiralty Arch would have taken us further down The Mall.
